Introduction to the virtual issue on bioeconomy innovation pipelines and supply chain shocks

This introduction presents five articles of the virtual issue on bioeconomy innovation pipelines and supply chain shocks. The presented cases use alternative methodological approaches with their own advantages and disadvantages. The conclusion we can draw is that the specificities of individual case studies make it difficult to generalise and many more cases would be needed to perform a meta-analysis. We encourage agricultural economists to provide further research on detailed cases, which will be particularly important for gaining a better understanding of the potential effects of the EU Green Deal.
